Marine: Due to the lapse in federal appropriations, NOAA has reduced the level of service for nautical charting updates. Effective immediately and until further notice, all updates to the Raster Nautical Chart and paper chart suites of charts have been suspended. ENCs will continue to be updated weekly with chart corrections in the Local Notice to Mariners (LNM-USCG) and Notice to Mariners (NtM – NGA). Other sources of chart updates, from hydrographic surveys, shoreline surveys, dredging, new construction, and regulatory changes are not being applied to the ENC suite, nor are they being analyzed for potential local notice to mariners reports. US Coast Pilot has not been updated since December. Mariners should exercise additional caution while sailing in coastal waters, as nautical charts and publications will be increasingly out of date. All NOAA charts and publications will remain available through normal distribution channels, and continue to meet carriage requirements.
